The Greatest Heroes: Legacy of D-Day

MagellanTV has drawn upon a global effort mounted by documentary makers to document and reconstruct key moments of the Second World War, from the experiences of soldiers to the hair-trigger decisions of global leaders. The aim of these programs is to take viewers into the lives of soldiers who bore the burden of defending the free world. They were foot soldiers who boarded landing craft bound for sniper-swept beaches in Normandy, paratroopers who dropped in the dark of night behind enemy lines, or tank crews who set up on bridges to confront the onslaught of Nazi divisions. We remember their sacrifices on the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
